However, she loved to cry too much. She had cried quite a few times already in the time they had been together.
”Can you stop crying?” The Xiaowan said, ”When you cry, I go into chaos. I'm just afraid that I won't take good care of you.”
”No, no …” Hanxi said, and started sobbing.
”Miss Bi, even if you cry, your mother will feel uncomfortable. Don't cry.” Xiaowan got up and wiped her hands on his skirt. She took out a clean handkerchief from her lapel and handed it to her, ”Wipe your tears, don't cry anymore.
Hanxi took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, only then did she realize that this was Xiaowan's handkerchief, and said that she would give it to her after she had washed it clean. Xiaowan laughed: ”This is for you, I still have a lot.”
They returned to the house. Mrs. Bi was waiting anxiously, so the mother and daughter duo slept on one side of the bed while the Xiaowan slept on the other.
The tired person quickly fell asleep, but neither mother nor daughter could sleep. Hanxi softly asked his mother: ”Mother, will the General Wei still let the yamen runner take you away, and we can continue to head to the Siping Mansion.”
Mrs. Bi said, ”What if not?”
Hanxi said, ”Can I beg him to beg the Emperor?”
The Mrs. Bi laughed bitterly: Who are we, for us to help you up to this point? Little Xi, your mother is willing to go to the Siping Mansion. If I can redeem my sins, you and your brother won't suffer anymore. Little Xi, Mother knows her wrongs. ”
”Mother …” Hanxi was about to cry again, but thinking of Xiaowan's words, she forcefully swallowed her tears.
The night passed, and the chickens in the courtyard crowed, waking Xiaowan up.
She slept soundly, and when she turned over, she saw the mother and daughter hugging each other and sleeping soundly.
That Mrs. Bi had done something that couldn't be changed by killing someone, but he was an irreplaceable existence to her daughter. She sighed in his heart, I hope that Madam Xu can come out of jail alive, otherwise, a child that doesn't have a mother to take care of would be pitiful.
She quietly got up, went out to greet the farmer, and helped him make breakfast. Then, she came back to wake the mother and daughter pair up. After eating breakfast, they would continue to follow Wei Tengfei.
Returning to the main group, Xiaowan went to find Hubby and quietly gave Ling Chaofeng the boiled eggs that the farmer cooked this morning. Ling Chaofeng did not know whether to laugh or cry and replied: ”It's not generous at all.”
The Xiaowan did not care, letting her master eat her fill was the proper thing to do. It was rare that she gave him such a generous and passionate egg. She left the egg to him but didn't eat it, wanting to make up for it for Ling Chaofeng.
In that side chamber, yamen runner had rested for a night and recovered some of his strength. They were knocked unconscious by the three beasts, and their heads were wrapped in thick gauze.
Therefore, Wei Tengfei ordered his men to send these yamen runner back, and arranged for two more people to replace the yamen runner to continue sending the Mrs. Bi to the Siping Mansion.
Xiaowan told Hubby that both mother and daughter had bloody blisters on their feet and it was very pitiful. She could not even stop for a day or two.
Ling Chaofeng said indifferently: ”She is out to be punished, not sightseeing, do you think she can stop?”
Xiaowan did not speak anymore.
The team was about to set off. Hanxi walked to the front of Wei Tengfei, who was already seated on a horse with his head lowered, looking at the delicate girl.
”What do you want to say?” Wei Tengfei still carried his anger from yesterday.
”General Wei, I'm sorry …” Hanxi lowered her head, her moist eyelashes slightly trembling, carrying a bit of a sobbing tone, but she resisted the urge to cry, ”I was ignorant yesterday, and failed to live up to your good intentions, I beg your forgiveness.”
”I'm fine.” Seeing how weak she was, and thinking that she had climbed all the way from the capital to here with her mother, it was extremely difficult for her. Her filial piety could also move people.
”Thank you, General.” Hanxi gave him a great bow.
Wei Tengfei dismounted from his horse and helped the person kneeling on the ground up. His strength was so great that Hanxi was almost able to stand up after being lightly lifted.
”Accompany your mother well and continue walking. Persisting a bit more, you will soon reach the Siping Mansion. My people will follow you, and don't worry along the way, it won't happen again. ” Wei Tengfei said, ”Take care of yourself.”
”Yes.” Hanxi's voice trembled, she bowed towards Wei Tengfei, then went to find Xiaowan, wanting to say goodbye to her.
Wei Tengfei watched as she walked over, but on the other side, the Mrs. Bi walked towards him. He frowned slightly, and saw that the Mrs. Bi was saying to him in a hurry: ”General, please do me the favor and ask Hanxi to stay, or can you send someone to bring her back to the capital? She can't suffer with me any longer, General, please. ”
